The following pages are designed to give you the information you will require to complete the application form and to give you some idea of the procedures that are involved in applying for and being allocated accommodation."

  • New students will have email sent to their non-essex email address by 'accom' (the address in full has '@essex.ac.uk' after 'accom'). Owing to the large number of students who are emailed, you may need to take action to prevent emails from accom getting treated as junk or spam mail. How exactly you do this depends on your email client (programme used to receive email). For example with webmail from hotmail.com you should click on Options, then under Junk Email click on the 'safe and blocked senders' link, then click on 'Safe senders' and add the accom address (with @essex.ac.uk on the end) to the list.
